The Pequod Review:

Yrsa Sigurdardottir's I Remember You is a genuinely frightening horror novel. The book is set in the Westfjords of Iceland, and centers on two storylines: three friends who decide to leave the city and turn a remote run-down house into a vacation rental, and a young doctor with a tragic past who at present is investigating the suicide of an elderly woman. These storylines eventually converge in an extremely effective way (I will say no more than that). Like a lot of other Icelandic novels, Sigurdardottir's prose (in English anyway) leaves a lot to be desired. But otherwise this is a very well-executed ghost story, plausible and disturbing.
